Rabies Animal Control has finally tracked down CoCo the Blogging Dog for not having a dog license. They sent me a polite letter apoligizing for any inconvenience this may cause, but informed me that I must pay 3 years of penalties for being non-licensed within 2 weeks, or I will be guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor! The first thing I did was Google class 2 misdemeanor to see what that meant. It's not good. For that you could pay up to $750 in fines and do 4 months in the big house. I can just see my new roommate, his name would be "Killer" and he would most likely be a rottweiler. Killer would bark, "I'm doin life for biting a dog real bad, so CoCo wud they get you on?..."Hey killer, uh nice name you have! Well, it was all a simple misunderstanding really, you see I never got a license...uhm, did I tell you I like your collar very much."
A new law was past last year that require veterinarians to turn over all records of rabies vaccinations to the government. This means that you can no longer get a rabies vaccination without it being reported. You see, I view dog licensing as a government intrusion. Personally, I don't really think it is the governments business what vaccinations I've had, but what is a dog to do? I could assume a false identity, but Spot the Blogging Dog doesn't sound quite right. I could live my life on the road as a fugitive, but would miss my favorite cushion on the couch. Then of course, there is always Killer the rottweiller that could become my roommate...On second thought, I think I'll pay my fines first thing in the morning.
